Headed out to Ruston right after work on Friday. And when I say right out, I mean the only stop I made was at Doe's Eat Place to grab 9 dozen (yep, 108!) tamales for my grandma to try. My grandpa's doctor raved about them and even flies up here to load them up and bring them home. The final conclusion....they are good but not great. Like so much of the food in the Delta it could use more seasoning. I prefer Manuel's in NO. I guess that is why they call them "tamales" and not "hot tamales" here. Manuel's is another casualty of Katrina. If you want a good, and very large, steak (and are willing to pay for it!) they have locations in Oxford, MS, a few places in AR, Tulsa, OK, and Lafayette. Baton Rouge will be getting a location at the end of July...check them out, it is good.
The trip to Ruston was good, but tiring. Somehow I managed to make it back in only 2 1/2 hours, and I swear I was not speeding...guess I just hit it right.
At least next week is a short week and after this Thursday I will know what I am working on for work. The good news is that it does look like I will get to do some energy conservation and alternative fuel research....helping the environment a wee bit would not be a bad thing.
